What the Hell does he mean by that? Does that mean that their twisted version of "liberty" (Waging wars of aggression, and committing crimes against humanity.) is more important than human rights?

1. there can be no rights without responsibility

2. It's backwards.

You can't have liberty without first acknowledging and defending human rights. just mho

3. what do you expect from a third grade intellect?

Human rights? don't those start right here at home in our policies?

You can't have acceptable torture without a Republican administration. Now that has the ring of truth to it.

5. Think like a Fundie!

Human Liberty= Salvation of Jeebus, saved from sin.
Human rights in the fundie mind are not possible
without the salvation of Jeebus.
All the heathens must be saved or they
will continue to violate human rights because
they are in the bondage of sin- liberty in this
speech is an evangelical threat not unlike the
crusades-
In my mind, the man just declared a crusade
on the entire planet.

6. Think like a crisco coated fundie

Human Liberty= Salvation of Jeebus, saved from sin.
Human rights in the fundie mind are not possible
without the salvation of Jeebus.
All the heathens must be saved or they
will continue to violate human rights because
they are in the bondage of sin- liberty in this

9. "You can't have liberty without first acknowledging and defending

human rights." I like your answer to Dubya's B.S. I'd like to hear someone use it in a counter speech. This was in answer to post two, but I put it in the wrong place.
